The sunroof on my 1999 Audi A4, will not close. It is stuck on the drivers side in the up position. The passengers side is not stuck and will close all the way, but the drivers side is stuck in the up position. I have tried to manually close the sunroof with the tool, but the one side will not budge. The motor is still working because I can hear it clicking, and the sunroof will open fully in the up position, but will not close fully or open in the horizontal position. I have tried to put WD-40 thinking maybe it just needed to be lubricated, but nothing happened. It is summer and I really want my sunroof back to normal, but I don't want to spend lots of money getting it fixed at the dealership, do you think you know what the problem could be?

Should be in your owners manual or in your glove box. If not the dealer will do this for your free of charge. And many honda for one has a place on their website to retrieve this info. It may require you pulling the radio to get the number on it so that they can retrieve this info. But I called a dealor for someone here last week and got them the code.

The sunroof assembly has to be removed from the car before the shade can be removed.

Start with the sunroof glass, put the glass in tilt mode and remove the
plastic covers hiding the bolts. Mark the bolts with white out so they
go back where they were, remove the 6 T25 torx bolts. Push the glass
out from the top and remove the glass. This should allow you to remove the shade.

good day, it may have a stucked up mechanism or you might wanna check the fuse first and replace it if busted. try greasing the rubber side of the runroof too so it can move freely, hope this helps, have a nice day

You can try cleaning and lubricating the runners. The sunroof will open as soon as it is obstructed, eg. A childs arm in the way of closing. The problem here is that you can hear the motor running, wich indicates a broken cable, or a stripped plastic gear.

Hi i have an audi a4 and the drivers window fails to open and close properly and there is a strange clicking when doing so. It sounds like there is a stone inside the window but i think it may be a mechanical fault with the electic window ........help
